Barchi's prudence was well considered

In an effort to accommodate and hopefully offer a bit of calmer thinking, I refer to President Barchi's statement as you quoted him regarding the firing of Coach Mike Rice:

I am glad to see that prudent behavior prevailed, and he looked all all sides and all solutions before taking the obvious one.
